Atmospheric Cont.min.tio..

Not a little has been done already by

ten,atic house drainage to purify the air

little indeed has been accomplished,

most desirable, but are likely in many cases

Notwithstanding the circulation Of fresh
air which is constantly flowing over town
and country. it must be allowed that
there is in many places an excess Of nox-
ious matter in the atmosphere above what
IL compatible with healthy life. Coal
dust, iron filings, clay from potteries, car
bonic gases from brickfields, sulphurous
gases and hydrochloric acid from metal
and chemical works. besides ammoniacal
vapors, vitrous and nitric acids, arseni

gaseous products Of decay, are still freely
cast forth in the surrounding air. Their
influence in the atmosphere is often
plainly perceptible by the senses, and #
not as plainly poisonous, mas, without
doubt, its share in that subtle impairment

The question relating to atmospheric
contamination from this source and its
treatment is q large one and deserving Of
consideration alike by economists, sani-

Where Life IL . Horrid Crush,

A New Yorker rarely ever invites a
friend to his house; il he wants to give
him dinner his appointment is for the
club and thus these institutions all over
the city are kept busy from 9 to 10 in the
evening with these professional engage
ments." ! coin this name for these COM
munions between men for the reason that
dinner engagements are made In New York
either for business or dissipation. II a
friend invites a gentleman to dinner he is
usually from out Of town and Is here upon
some mission Of traffic or pleasure. There
fore the incident Of taking meal at the
club is simply the beginning Of some COM
bination Of money making, or for . wild
hurrah after the meal is over. New York
being the center VI the United States
these combinations are numerous here,
and hence the prosperity Of nearly all Of
its clubs. 1t matters not how or for what
purpose they are successful, but in this
season, when every one is complaining Of
hard times and the scarcity Of money, the
clubs Of New York are more prosperous
than ever, rs a rule. Notwithstanding
this, life in mast Of them is Llrd and for
bidding.
The aninosities between the tradesmen
Of New York. who are its power and p,lr-
pose, are very severe. There are few
friendships in this great city, ff;!e mill
Of human kindness, and less commercial
honesty. In this connection am speak.
ing Of the men and their relations with
each other. Life here is horrid crash,
and when men can rob no outsider they
set up jobs on each other. To great ex-
tent the clubs are tie vehicle Of the COM
binations by which men may be made or
broke. just as the turn Of the wheel may
make it possible or impossible

The peculiar red hat worn uy the cardi-
uals for few moments when they receive
their titles, the same as the one that can
be seen suspended over the altar in St.
Patrick's cathedral, has arrived from
Rome for Cardinal Gibbons. The shape
Of this hat is somewhat like big Mexican
sombrero, and it has bunch of thirteen
tassels ranged in graduated lines attached
to the side. When the cardinal gets his
ring and title one Of these hats is put on
his head for a few minutes by the pope,
and then 1t is taken OF and never used
again. When the cardinal dies it is put
at the foot Of his bier. and when he is
buried it is supended over the altar Of his
church until his successor is appointed,
just as the one that can now be seen ut
the cathedrals. and Furrier

Edison on tn. Labor ouess,o..

Thomas Edison, the electrician, when
asked by newspaper interviewer what
he thought Of the keely motor, replied:
II have never seen 1t, SO l have no opin-
ion about IT, But all the results he is
said to have obtained can DE got from
compressed air All the air In this room
can he condensed into a liquid that could
be carried in q filbert shell. and its explO-
sive force would be tremendous. Skill
fully released and reconstructed, it would
move a great machine" In reply to the
question, when motive power gets to be
four times rs cheap as it Is, Mr.. Edison,
what viii become Of the laboring mani"
"He will be enriched by it, Machinery
will be his slave. See how machinery has
multiplied in the last fifty wears. As .
direct result, workingmen get double the
wages they did then, and the necessities
Of life cost only half as much. In other
words. n hand worker can today buy four
times as much with ten hours OF work a.
his father could fifty years ago. For the
first time in the worlds history a skilled
mechanic can buy barrel of flour with a
single days work. The machinery in the
United States represents the labor Of
1000, OOO, 600 men, or fifty times as much
labor As that Of all the men in the coun-
try.
''When motive power is still further
cheapened-say in another generation-I
believe that the unskilled laborer, il sobel
and industrious, can have house Of his
own and a horse and carriage and
library and a piano. 1t is terrible stu.
pidity that leads some laborin9 men to
suppose that machinery is their foe. Its
the thing that gives them Independence
and even freedom. Without machinery
society would drift into the condition OF
master and slave. The multiplication of
machinery means for every worker more
food, better clothes, bet ;er house, less
work. In fact, believe hat the indefi
mite increase Of machii cry is going to
solve what folks call 'tb, , labor question
that is, the desire Of hand workers to
get bigger slice Of tho margin Of profit"

New YORK, Nov. THE sale Of the art
treasures and library of the late Henry Ward
Beecher is set down TO begin Tuesday, and
the American Museum of Art, where the col
lection now is, has been visited by great
numbers of people since it was first exposed
for sale. The bidding viii no doubt be brisk,
especially for some of the books. but there
will be few things purchased because of great
artistic merit, for Mr. Beecher was not a con-
poisseur-he bought his pictures and pieces of
bric-a-brac because he liked them, without
regard to art.
But even had Mr. Beecher been possessed
of the most delicate artistic taste. his collcc-
ton would of necessity have embraced much
not of high order of merit; for he was the
recipient of an enormous number and va
riety OF souvenirs, testimonials, specimen irl-
pressions of engravmgs and Autographs from
publishers, etc Few of these latter are any,
thing more than ordinary in conception or
execution. Their presence in the collection
now offered for sale may serve to explain
many now half forgotten advertisement
containing Beecher's Endorsement of some en-
craving, then new, of religious or domostir
subject. the aim of which might be conscious
ly recommended whether its art was good or
not.
